UK: Police accused of ‘turning blind eye’ to anti-Semitism to pursue ‘nonsense’

Police chiefs have “turned a blind eye” or even “looked for reasons” not to pursue charges against anti-Semites and instead spent their time investigating “nonsense”, a charity boss has said.

Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (CAAS), said that in the past year his charity had launched half a dozen private prosecutions in cases where the police refused to act.

He said since October 7 2023 – when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and massacred over 1,200 people – there has been an explosion in anti-Jewish hatred, but police were routinely declining to pass cases on to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

Sounds familiar.

Fire Trudeau for backing arrest of Netanyahu, says Canada opposition leader

The head of Canada’s opposition has called for Justin Trudeau to be fired for saying his government would abide by an international arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.

Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, which will take on Mr Trudeau’s Liberals in next year’s election, criticised Canadian premier for his “extreme” views.

“He’s interested in arresting the leader of a democratically-elected government, the state of Israel, which has been besieged by terrorists and foreign tyrants attacking its land,” Mr Poiliever said in a radio interview in Canada.

Canada’s 1st female defence chief ‘can’t believe’ U.S. senator would question a woman’s role in combat

CAF Tampon Brigade

The first woman to command Canada’s military called out a U.S. senator on Saturday for questioning the role of women in combat.

Gen. Jennie Carignan responded to comments made by Idaho Republican Sen. Jim Risch, the ranking member of the U.S. Senate foreign relations committee, who was asked on Friday whether president-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, should retract comments that he believes men and women should not serve together in combat units.

“I think it’s delusional for anybody to not agree that women in combat creates certain unique situations that have to be dealt with. I think the jury’s still out on how to do that,” Risch said during a panel session at the Halifax International Security Forum on Friday.

Chinese phone hackers ‘had access to every call in the US’

A Chinese hacking operation that tapped into the US phone network was far more extensive than first reported and could have listened into virtually any mobile phone conversation in the country, according to accounts.

The Salt Typhoon hackers group, named by the Microsoft engineers who first encountered it in the summer, was initially reported to have targeted the phones of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates Donald Trump and JD Vance, as well as Kamala Harris’s campaign workers.

CHARLEBOIS: Is the GST holiday an inflation trap?

The recent announcement of a temporary GST/HST holiday on select food purchases, running from Dec. 14 to Feb. 15, has drawn significant attention.

While the move has been framed as a helpful measure for Canadians during the holidays and the challenging winter months, it is critical to unpack its implications. Beyond the political spin, the economic reality of this measure deserves closer scrutiny.
